Shopping / Spending
While it may seem innocent, safe, and sometimes thoughtful, shopping addiction can reveal a lot more behind the goods and gifts it provides.

Buying and/or searching for the next deal. We all want to get the best and most for money, and we be lying if we didn’t admit we love to get a great deal. Though, those with shopping addictions take this saving high to the next level. For some it becomes less about a budgeting method and more about the thrill of buying.
Shopping addiction comes in many forms. The average person may say they look at a day of spending as a release from the stresses of life, like enjoying a slice of chocolate cake. They just don’t do it all the time. However, for others, shopping is an addiction.
At Maui Recovery, we make it our goal to confront thrill-seeking behaviors. They love the rush they get when they find that next great deal. A bag filled with items spells happiness, even at the expense of family finances. Once the “down” feeling comes following a purchase, the shopper has to go out again. We look forward to facilitating your path to healing and recovery, while guiding and leading you through your process.
Our clients – with our assistance – work to get to the bottom of their negative habits. We provide a chance to rebuild and improve.
Though there are plenty who confess they shop to “forget their worries” (if only for a few hours), others say the next spending spree is always on their mind. Sadly, shopping addictions of any kind do more than ruin credit scores – they damage personal lives, too.
We know first hand the pain and suffering that comes from active addiction. We’re here for you
